A Kentucky licensee interested in obtaining a license in a reciprocal state should contact that state. The state may require a Letter of Good Standing or a license certification of a Kentucky licensee to complete their application process.
An auctioneer, licensed in another state, who wishes to apply for license in Kentucky by reciprocity must meet the following requirements:
- 1) Licensed as an auctioneer for at least one (1) year in a reciprocal state.
- 2) A "Letter of Good Standing" or License Certification submitted with the application and fee. Current through the year of application, the reciprocal initial license fee is $155, unless otherwise noted beside the state listed below. This includes $30 to the Recovery Fund.
- 3) A FBI background report that is less than sixty (60) days old. (see information below)
The Board does not issue licenses for firms or companies. The licensee provides one business address. The license is printed through the eServices portal you create after being issued a license. All correspondence from the Board is addressed to the licensee's e-mail address unless the licensee does not have a computer. Licenses expire each year on June 30th.
